Franklin humorously described the per
ple1ity that would be caused this snake
should it in trying TO pass g tree get one
head on one side of it and the other head
on the other aide, and he was about to re-
peat with much merriment, the way in
which he had used this as an illustration
during debate that day in the constitu-
tlonal convention Some other members
or the convention, however, reminded him
that its proceedings were secret, and so a
good constitutional snake story is lost to
history.
Franklin's physical infirmities had not
lessened his mental vigor, and as years
before he had suggested at Albany &
plan of union for the colonies, so now he
was active in furthering the formation of
central government. Nevertheless, in
the debates of the convention Franklin is
almost always found in the minority. He
dreaded monarchy, and he was in favor
of an executive council rather than a
single president. He also opposed pay
ing the president salary, claiming that
the office should be "post of honor"
not "place of profit

do not wonder that young people gen
orally dislike farming, for what can be
more dull and unpleasant than the aver
age farm lifeto high-spirited, ambitious
boy or girl? A shabby set of buildings,
with old broken fences; rough. disor-
dered door-yard with no flowers, but
many times covered with ugly rocks,
old logs and unsightly rubbish these are
not calculated to render boy proud or
girl happy A farmer should be, first,
thrifty; he should keep his fields clean
and well cultivated, his walls and fences
up, and his buildings well repaired and
painted. He should feed his cattle well
and be proud of them, and keep horse
that the "youpg folks" are not ashamed
to drive. He should study his vocation
and adopt the best methods, keeping up
with the times. Nothing is more impor-
tant than that his children like their work
and home, and nothing will encourage
them SO much as rendering that home
attractive to them. Every farmer should
if possible, possess q lawn beautifed with
ornamental trees, plants and flowers well
arranged and trimmed. ] think this as
disirabls as good field, and it does not
cost quarter as much as many farmers
lose by shiftlessness. The enjoyment
family would take from it richly repays
the cost. A sroquet set looks better to
me than lot of old broken wheels or
rotten rubbish! Farmers should read,
enjoying the best literature as well as
'ths news" and give their children OPP
portunities of calture and society.
Such farming is the most independent,
healthful and enjoyable occupation. and
when pursued with energy and ability Is
capable of giving the handsomest returns
everything considered-of any business
or earth. Shiftlessness Is the great dis
ease of farmers, aad thrift the best
remedy.

WHO MRoIE SHAKESpEAREs
How the Element of Doubt Leads to Grand
Achievements.

The world is agitstsd sgain over the
question of who was the author of Shakes
peare's plays.
The world is full of doubling Thomases.
The man who has been successful in
exciting the present momentary interest
in the subject is, like most successful sg-
itators, an Irishmsn. He claims to have
discovered cipher running through the
Shakespearian plays which proves them
TO have been written by Lord Bacon. 1t
is also claimed that there is q cipher in
the epitaph on the moss-grown tombstone,
same conclusion.
This age shows decided inclination to
pry into mysteries.
1t can make no difference to Shakes
Peare now whether the world believes he
wrote the plays that bear his name or
not.
The plays are immortal.
lgnatius Donnelly cannot rob Us of
these grand WORKS, even though he should
s5cceed in robbing Shakespeare of his
glory.
Were it not for doubling Thomases
many of mans great accomplishments
voQld revsr have been brought TO success
sui issue.
Men have been stricken down without
warning. Doubt put in motion the in
vestigation which ascertained the cause.
After the discovery of the cause, the
world was ignorant Of any remedy with
which to stay the terrible slaughter of
humanity, and medical science said it was
impossible. Doubt led the way to the
light, and Warmers safe cure solved the
seemingly unsolvable problem. Its
friends tell US with conclusive proof that
the unsupported kidney disease befouls
the blood and causes most of our diseasesl
For years the heart was looked upon as
the most important organ in the body,
but doubt led to further inquiry, which
developed the fact that the kidneys are
the real headquarters of the system and
these organs now attract the frat atten-
ton of the careful practitioner. 1t is
now recognized fact that if they are
put in healthy state by the use of that
remedy possessing such wonderful cura-
tive and cleansing powers most of the
prevailing diseases of the system will be
easily overcome, since their cause will be
removed.
How unimportant, in comparison with
such problems, Is the present discussion
as to the authorship of Shakespeare!

Tanning Birds.

lady who has had great success in
tanning birds was displaying some of her
achievements before half dozen friends
yesterday, says The New York Graphic.
She brought in a bird from a neighbor-
ing flat that she had never seen until
week ago and which is as wild with peo-
pie generally as is the usual canary of
commerce, and had it eat out of her hand,
light on her hair, and peck seeds from
beneath her lips. All her own birds con-
duct themselves in similarly familiar
manner. The most affectionate is little
English bulinch that rejoices in the
name of Humpty Dumpty. He raises a
great oommotion, futtering his wings
and screaming with delight, when she
comes in after an absence and playfully
pecks her head and face in a loving
way when she lets him fly out
in the room. He is jealous of the other
birds and futters and speaks in a dis
tressed manner when she pays too much
attention to them. He is a humorous
young creature, and will play practical
jokes in the way of scattering visitors
when he is in his bath with every appear
ance of doing it on purpose and finding
it funny. His mistress was begged to tell
how she accomplished this subsection ana
tanning of every bird she came in con-
tact with, and whether it was done by
honest means or through some applica-
tion of the black art. She hesitated and
then said: "Well, it is very foolish of me
to tell when l can just as well have the
glory and advantage of being considered
witch, but must, because it is so funny,
and 1 found it out all by myself. 1t only
needs one thing to tame any bird, and
that is to get the notion through its head
in some way that you are afraid of it.
I've made all these birds in the begin
ming believe that l shook in my boots
with terror at the sight of them. How?
No, am not going to give away all my
methods. I tell you the principle, and
the power depends on your wit and inge-
nuity, only l say that you make bird
believe that you are afraid Of him by
just the same sort of pantomime that
you'd employ with anyone you could not
talk to; they have brains just like other
folks if you only believe it. At first they
usually despise me and peck me or at
me, for my trembling cowardice before
them, but when they find me still humble
and amiable they grow sorry for me, and
finally fond of Inc; with that strongest
of all affections, you know, the love of
the strong for the weak and helpless. You
think 1 am just talking, but am telling
you the truth exactly as it presents itself
to the birds mind"

Professional Women.
CIina o. Mail

A common-sence woman, who puts NJ.

night. 81 have but one objection to be-
ing O professional woman-that is, the
peculiar estimation in which my own sex
holds me. / know they don't mean 1T,
but / feel 1t sometimes until l have 20
turn my face to conceal the flush on m y
cheeks. Do you know that the average
society woman acts as though she thinks
that one of her own sex who has a pro-
fession has no social rights! This average
society woman would not admit this, of
course, and perhaps she doesn't really
mean. it. l would sometimes like to
put on dress from the dress- makers
latest pattern: but if | do my pa
tient looks at me in a sort of inquiring
way. I think some tunes If / should fol-
low the style of Mrs. DR.. Mary Walker that
some of my otherwise good patients
would like it better. Why is ii! L am
not railing against my own sex. Believe
me, I would not be man If had the
power to make the change. But women
are so cruel without intending to be. A
friend of mine asked me to attend re-
ception last Wednesday night at the Co
lumbia Theater, and | went. While /
was there I was constantly reminded By
his other lady friend of my profession. l
was constantly appealed to as to my
opinion of the effect of an exposure
which her own folly had created, and
when we went out of the theater /
had to go home with her and leave a pre-
scription. Sometimes I am asked out to
dine, and my hostess inquiries of me if
l think her own food is good for
her. She doesn't think of my health
am professional womaL. How often
my heart has ached at this treatment,
/ know that some professional women
bring this upon themselves. But those
of IS who would like occasionally 20 take
a woman's hand for some otner purpose
than feeling her pulse are stared at if We
do it."

farmers who plan Alright need not be
perpleIed at all by the sowing of oats,
for though spring crop, the land can
be plowed and fertilized the fall and
winter previously, snd the seed sown and
field finished without smother plowing(
before the adjoining fields are dry
enough to work. The drain upon the
soil Is not greater than for the aver
age grasses, and every portion of the oat
plant is OF value for provender.
Oat straw is superior to the straw of
any other grain, and where properly
cured, DR.. Gilbert estimates II but little
inferior to meadow hay. That the grain
is readily digested is proved every day in
the year by the stock of all kinds which
eat II, even very young calves and colts
taking to it naturally and utilizing it. As
a feed for working animals, whether
horses or cattle, ii is unsurpassed, ana
where cut up without threshing, and wet
before feeding, with perhaps the addition
of small amount of meal, there is no
food that will equal it at the same cost.
The use of oats for hay is rapidly COM
ing into public esteem, and to farmers
who have never tried the crop for this
purpose, there is no object which will be
- Poitdut 10 TAKE up ue3b year. II
should be borne il mind, however, that a
good piece of oat hay cannot be grown
on worn out soil any more than two tons
of clover and timothy.
There arc two benefits which can be
directly obtained by the growth of oat
hay. Osts are not at all particular what
they feed on apparently, and the grossest,
greenest manures, and oftentimes woods
earth and decaying matter of any kind
Will be appreciated by them the first sea-
son, IN remarkably dexterous manner.
The other benefit is the earliness with
which they may be cut (the proper time
to harvest thin is in the milky, leaving
the ground for another crop the same
season. Farmers WHO have properly pre-
pared the land for tn S crop and even
dragged it after cutting the oats for fod-
der, and carelessly sown turnips or buck
wheat, have benn ysry much surprised
and gratiied at the result of the second
crop the same season. Where more
pains have been taken and more fertiliz-
er and labor added i'll putting in Hungar-
ian, millet, sowed corn, ETC., the results
have been highly satisfactory and profit
able.

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.
ONLY A LITTLE CROSS.
FANNY FORESTER

All cold and lone on the ground we found him.
The brave young spirit had passed away:
And we folded his cloak around him,
We thought how nobly he fought that day.
Bright drops of dew on the curls were cleaning
That lay careSsing the ooyis brow.
All! that pale young face in the moonlight beam
ing
Is ever rising before me now.
broken sword near his hand was lying
His mothers picture-a lock of hair:
And to his heart he had clasped while dying,
The lille cross that he used to wear.
That bright young head on the ground reposirg,
The white face turned TO the star-lit skies,
How still it lay, while strange hands were clos-
ing
The heavy lids DER the once bright eyes.
Twas then we thought how that light foot never
Again should beat on the cottage floor;
The joyous laughter was hushed forever,
That gaily rang through the open door.
Twas then pictured his mother kneeling
To kiss the pillow his cheek had prest:
From happy comrades, pale girl stealing.
To sing the song that he loved test.
We thought how they who with smiles did greet
him,
Could find none nearer to take his place;
The noisy children that run TO meet him.
Would watch in vain for his pleasant face:
The fathers eyes would grow dim while telling
The darling deeds OF his gallant boy;
And gloom would fall on that little dwelling,
Wkose walls once echoed with sounds of joy.
The little cross from his cold hand taking,
One parting look on his face, and then,
With trembling fingers, and hearts nigh break
ing,
We lad it down on his breast again;
And with prayer for the thousand mothers
Who nightly watch till the shadows fee,
We left him there for We knew that others
Would need our help, oh, far more than hel
